TWO DEEP WELLS.
Sandstone Found at a Depth of Over Three
Thousand Feet.

A firm of silk manufacturers at
Northampton, Mass, about two years
ago began sinking an artesian well
there. 1t has now reached a depth of
$40 feet. All but 200 feet of the
boring has been through sandstone.
When the sandstone was reached it
was thought that at a depth of $50 feet
that would be the last of it, but when
this depth had been attained and the
sandstone still continued it was then
predicted that by the time the drill
had gone down 1880 feet it would be
through the stratum, but not So; and
again another prediction was in order,
and 1.5O0 was the depth named. But
what to say, for the question how far
the sandstone does extend is a conun-
drum which they "give up" Prof.
Emerson of Amherst College and other
eminent biologists declare that it is
impossible to tell any thing about it.
Mr.. Haskell, the solicitor of the North
American Mining Company, which is
sinking the well, has brought the mat
ter before the geofogists o. the Boston
School of Technology, and they do not
attempt to give any theory which
affords any encouragement as to how
far it will probably be necessary to go
down before getting through with the
sandstone. The theory is that the
sandstone is the deposit of a vast river
current in the past ages, and therefore
it is difficult to arrive at any conclusion
as to what the depth of this deposit
may be. The well is now the deepest
in the country, and, with one or two
exceptions. the deepest in the world.
There is one at st. Louis 3, $50 feet in
depth. which flows seventy-iive gallons
of water per minute.-Nor Hampton

A SAD ACCIDENT.
Boy Killed by n Heavy Freight
Wagon

A sad accident occurred at Duck
Lake Station. in Washoe county, on
Wednesday last, resulting in the
death of the seven-year-old son Of
j. G. Allen, a rancher of Surprise
Valley. Mr.. Allen came to Reno
for load of freight accompanied
by his boy, to show the little fellow
the country, cars etc. He had two
wagons, one of which is termed the
"back-action." When he had
reached Duck Lake Station, on his
return he stopped to water his team.
While doing so his little boy, in
company with another boy, was.
playing around the wagon and
without noticing the whereabouts
of the child, Mr.. Allen started bis
team, and the boy either fell off the
tongue of the trail wagon or was
knocked down by a wheel, and the
heavily loaded wagon passed over
the small OF bis back crushing him
horribly. The almost frantic father
stopped the team and picked up
his mangled child. He made him
as comfortable as possible and en-
deavored to reach home, 25 miles
distant, before death claimed his
victim, but the little fellow died on
the way. Mr.. Allen and his wife
are bowed down with grief, and
they have the sympathy Of the en-
tire community. Mr.. Moncamp,
who related the occurance to the
Journal reporter. stated that Mr..
Allen was paralyzed with grief. and
that only father similarly afflicted
could describe his feelings-Reno
